for weight loss they say to drink ice cold water as it forces your body to burn extra cals to bring it up to temp for absorption as well
although I'm sure it is a minimal amount why waste the calories heating up water when your muscles need them to perform
Read the picture above, from the Camelbak website. They say the body absorbs cold water faster.
